660 Massacre (1/2)
”Oh? Are you guys the family head of the Shui Family?” Ling Tian began crying out, ”Strange, before the family head said anything, so many of you are so eager to jump out. Old fogies, do all of you think that you are superior to your family head? This is the bearing of a thousand-year-old family? This is truly rare. It is truly better to witness all of your bearings rather than hearing about it in the rumors!” Ling Tian's words were laced with sarcasm.
These words made the elders who were already dissatisfied with Shui ManKong stir with anger. Their cold eyes were fixed on Ling Tian and they all looked as though they were itching to give Ling Tian a beating. For you to act in such an unbridled fas.h.i.+on in our Shui Family territory, regardless of your background, you are truly going too far!
Shui ManKong flicked his sleeves and stopped the elders from his faction who were about to charge forward to defend Ling Tian. With a smile on his face, he shook his head.
As such, the scenario in the hall became one of Ling Tian facing Shui ManPing, Shui ManYun, and the others from their faction.
Despite suffering from the miserable losses of the generational battle, there were still a full 200 experts from their faction! Such a force was one that couldn't be underestimated regardless of where one was. On the contrary, the number of warriors under Shui ManKong's command who had the right to join the battle was no more than a hundred! With the huge disparity in their forces, it was obvious that the side branch of the Shui Family had the upper hand. It was no wonder they dared to act in such an unbridled manner when facing their family head! You have to know, the number one expert of the Shui Family was also on their side before his death. Ling Tian could not help but lament in his heart, With the huge disparity between their strengths, it would be a wonder if nothing went wrong!
”Audacious! Why? Could it be that the few of you dare to surround this young n.o.ble?” Ling Tian face was calm as he hollered. Not a trace of fear or anxiousness could be heard in his voice and he sounded like an emperor facing an army of rebel soldiers. His voice was filled with the authority of a powerhouse, as though anyone who defied him would be killed.
”Who do you think you are? Ling Tian, don't think that you can flaunt your might in Heavenly Wind just because you are a hegemon in Heavenly Star!” An elder sneered as he looked at Ling Tian, ”Today, this old man will teach you a lesson. Even if you are a ferocious tiger, you cannot cross the river!”
The elder glared at Ling Tian with a menacing gaze and emphasized every word clearly, ”Those who attempt to cross the river shall die!”
”Those who dare to humiliate the Shui Family, die!” Close to 200 hollered in unison and their killing intent exploded forth.
”Do all of you really intend to kill me? All of you aren't joking?” Ling Tian suddenly lifted his head up and smiled gently. Despite his warm and sunny smile, the 200 warriors of the Shui Family felt as though a gust of cold wind blew past them.
”Do you think that you will be able to leave this place alive after humiliating our Shui Family members in the Shui Family?” Shui ManYun laughed sinisterly, ”For the past thousand years, there has never been a single person!”
Ling Tian let out a heavy sigh before shaking his head with a tinge of frustration. Shutting his eyes, he said with dissatisfaction, ”Even talking with all of you takes so much effort. In the past thousand years, there has never been anyone?!” As he said that, he raised his eyebrows at Ling Jian, ”Ling Jian, it seems like they truly want to kill us and aren't kidding. What do you think we should do?”
”Then we should kill them all first!” A fierce glow could be seen in Ling Jian's eyes, ”Those who dare to harm young n.o.ble should have their nine clans executed!”
”Err... nine clans executed...” Ling Tian could not help but let out a bitter laugh. Didn't that mean that he should also be executed? ”There isn't a need to be so cruel. I am in a good mood today. I shall just kill them all and spare their nine clans.”
”Roger!” Ling Jian turned around while hugging his sword. Stretching out his right hand, five swords were unsheathed in unison but only a single sound could be heard!
They were the most powerful a.s.sa.s.sin combination: Feng, Yun, Lei, Dian, and the First Pavilion Head, Ling Jian!
Right at this moment, killing intent erupted forth in the large hall!
Despite the presence of 200 Shui Family experts, they were actually unable to suppress the incoming killing intent!
”Do not let them have the chance to take action! Charge forward to kill them all! Dismember their bodies into a thousand pieces!” Shui QianHai who had witnessed Ling Jian's strength before roared out anxiously. However, not a single person listened to his orders. Who would bother about a junior?
Ling Jian's lips curled up in a cold sneer, ”Kill!”
The five a.s.sa.s.sins launched their attacks together!
The one who takes action first shall have the advantage! This was the first principle of a.s.sa.s.sination that Ling Tian constantly reminded them. Especially when noticing that the other party has the intention to attack, they should seize the initiative without the need for seeking permission.
The first to suffer was naturally the furious Shui ManYun who was standing at the very front.
Shui ManYun would never believe... even when he had the absolute numerical advantage, he would actually...
He saw a sword light flash past his eyes as though there was an expert launching an attack. Just when he was about to unsheathe his sword to block the attack, he felt a cold wind blow past his face. Retreating a few steps back, he felt a sharp pain at his back. Attempting to take a few steps forward to avoid the pain, he felt his whole body being engulfed in pain. Following which, Shui ManYun was horrified to realize that he no longer had his legs. His knees were on the ground and a large b.l.o.o.d.y hole could be seen in his back.
Furthermore, all of this was what he felt and not what he saw. As for why he couldn't see, the reason was extremely simple: his eyes were already reduced to two slits of blood! He was long blind!
Shui ManYun was completely frightened. While he had the heart to cry out in misery, he realized that he could no longer let out a single sound. His figure collapsed heavily onto the ground as though he was a rotten wooden pole.
This series of changes was truly too terrifying and swift. He didn't even have the chance to react!
Shui ManYun from the Shui Family: Dead!
With Shui ManYun's martial arts, even if he wasn't a match for Yu ManTian, he wouldn't be too far off. If he was facing Ling Jian head-on in a calm battle, even if he wasn't a match for Ling Jian, he wouldn't have lost so quickly and miserably!
However, when facing the ferocious attack of the First Pavilion Head, he did not even have his sword drawn and his emotions were extremely agitated. He was only thinking about how he could rely on his numbers to take down Ling Tian and his gang. Thus, it wasn't that surprising for the battle to end in such an outcome.
At the same time, seven to eight miserable groans could be heard. The group of warriors standing at the very front had also collapsed onto the ground together with Shui ManYun. Not a single one of them was just wounded, because they were all dead!
The four white-robed individuals who killed these eight individuals did not stop there. They charged straight into the crowd with their swords gleaming. At the same time, four crisp voices sounded, ”Those who dare to disrespect young n.o.ble shall die!”
”Spread out! All of you spread out! Gathering together will only cause all of you to commit fratricide!” a bearded elder roared.
Shui QianHai's face was completely pale as he looked around with a horror. With his father killed before his very eyes, the first reaction of this aristocratic young n.o.ble wasn't to take revenge for his father but to pee his pants in fear. However, this was truly a life-saving talisman. Ling Jian, Feng, Yun, Lei, and Dian were utterly disgusted at a coward like him and disdained to kill a coward like him.
The five of them were like five ferocious tigers roaming freely in a herd of sheep. Wherever they went, clouds of blood would explode and they would only leave behind fatalities without any casualties!
By the side, Shui ManKong ordered those in his faction to remain calm and watch by the side. If they couldn't tell that Ling Tian was here to aid Shui ManKong, they truly deserved to have their eyes plucked out.
Despite them being aware of that, they wouldn't be so foolish to open their mouths about it. At the same time, while they understood that there was a need for such a cleansing, upon hearing the miserable cries of their fellow family members and witnessing all of their bodies collapsing onto the ground, they could not help but feel their hearts ache.
At the same time, the exquisite swordplay and profound cultivation of the five a.s.sa.s.sins shocked every one of them present! The most frightening thing was how the five of them could slaughter their enemies as though they were having a casual meal. In the eyes of these five experts, human life was like cabbages for them to harvest as they wished. All of them had calm expressions on their faces as though it was just an ordinary affair.
The way these five individuals treated life like ants truly made all of their hair stand up on edge!
